Abstract

The disclosure relates to the use of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) antagonists for the inhibition of transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations (TLESRs). These metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 antagonists are also suitable for the treatment of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), as well as for the treatment of regurgitation and asthma.

Description

New Zealand Paient Spedficaiion for Paient Number 536559 USE OF MGLUR5 ANTAGONISTS FOR THE TREATMENT OF GERD Field of the invention The present invention relates to the use of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) antagonists for the inhibition of transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations. A further aspect of the invention is directed to the use of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 antagonists for the treatment of gastro-esophageal reflux disease, as well as for the treatment of regurgitation.
Background of the invention The metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR) are G-protein coupled receptors that are involved in the regulation and activity of many synapses in the central nervous system (CNS). Eight metabotropic glutamate receptor subtypes have been identified and are subdivided into three groups based on sequence similarity. Group I consists of mGluRl and mGluR5. These receptors activate phospholipase C and increase neuronal excitability. Group II, consisting of mGluR2 and mGluR3 as well as group IE, consisting of mGluR4, mGluR6, mGluR7 and mGluR8 are capable of inhibiting adenylyl cyclase activity and reduce synaptic transmission. Several of the receptors also exist in various isoforms, occurring by alternative splicing {Chen, C-Y et ah, Journal of Physiology (2002), 538.3, pp. 773-786; Pin, J-P etal., European Journal of Pharmacology (1999), 375, pp. 277-294; Brauner-Osborne, H et al. Journal of Medicinal Chemistry (2000), 43, pp. 2609-2645; Schoepp, D.D, Jane D.E. Morn J.A. Neuropharmacology (1999), 38, pp. 1431-1476).
The lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is prone to relaxing intermittently. As a consequence, fluid from the stomach can pass into the esophagus since the mechanical barrier is temporarily lost at such times, an event hereinafter referred to as "reflux".
Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) is the most prevalent upper gastrointestinal tract disease. Current pharmacotherapy aims at reducing gastric acid secretion, or at neutralizing acid in the esophagus. The major mechanism behind reflux has been considered to depend 2 on a hypotonic lower esophageal sphincter. However, e.g. Holloway & Dent (1990) Gastroenterol. Clin. N. Amer. 19, pp. 517-535, has shown that most reflux episodes occur during transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations (TLESRs), i.e. relaxations not triggered by swallows. It has also been shown that gastric acid secretion usually is normal 5 in patients with GERD.
According to Blackshaw L.A. et al, presentation at the conference Neurogastroenterology & Motility, Madison, Wisconsin, 14 November 2001, metabotropic glutamate receptors of group II and group III, i.e. mGluR2, mGluR3, mGluR4, mGluR6, mGluR7 and mGluR8 10 may be involved in selective inhibitory modulation of peripheral mechanosensory endings.
The object of the present invention was to find a new way for the inhibition of transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations (TLESRs), thereby preventing reflux, or at least to provide a useful choice. More particularly the object of the invention was to find a new and 15 improved way of treating gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), as well as a new and improved way for the treatment of regurgitation, or at least to provide a useful choice.
Outline of the invention It has now surprisingly been found that metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) antagonists are useful for the inhibition of transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations (TLESRs), and thus for the treatment of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Consequently, the present invention is directed to the use of a metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 antagonist for the manufacture of a medicament for the inhibition of transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxations (TLESRs).
A further aspect of the invention is the use of a metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 30 antagonist for the manufacture of a medicament for the prevention of reflux. intellectual property OPPICF OF N.Z 2 6 JUN 2007 RECEIVED 3 Still a further aspect of the invention is the use of a metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 antagonist for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Effective prevention of regurgitation would be an important way of preventing, as well as curing lung disease due to aspiration of regurgitated gastric contents, and for managing failure to thrive. Thus, a further aspect of the invention is the use of a metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 antagonist for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of regurgitation.
Still a further aspect of the invention is the use of a metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 antagonist for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment or prevention of lung disease.
Another aspect of the invention is the use of a metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 antagonist for the manufacture of a medicament for the management of failure to thrive.

One example of a compound having antagonistic affinity to metabotropic glutamate receptor 5, thereby being useful in accordance with the invention, is the compound 2-methyl-6-(phenylethynyl)-pyridine (often abbreviated MPEP). MPEP is commercially available from e.g. Tocris, or may be synthesized according to well-known procedures such as disclosed by K. Sonogashira et al. in Tetrahedron Lett. (1975), 50, 4467-4470.
A further example of a compound having antagonistic affinity to metabotropic glutamate receptor 5, thereby being useful in accordance with the invention, is the compound 3-[3-(5-fluoropyridin-2-yl)-l,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl]-5-(methoxymethyl)benzonitrile, having the structural formula: 6 O \ Yet another example of a compound having antagonistic affinity to metabotropic glutamate receptor 5, thereby being useful in accordance with the invention, is the compound 3-fluoro-5-[3-(5-fluoropyridin-2-yl)-l,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl]benzonitrile, having the structural formula: The use of pharmaceutically acceptable salts of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 antagonists is also within the scope of the present invention. Such salts are for example salts formed with mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid; alkali metal salts such as sodium or potassium salts; or alkaline earth metal salts such as calcium or magnesium salts.
Metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 antagonists having an asymmetric carbon atom are chiral compounds, and depending on the presence of asymmetric atoms, the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 antagonists may exist in the form of mixtures of isomers, particularly racemates, or in the form of pure isomers such as specific enantiomers. The use of optical isomers of metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 antagonists is also within the scope of the present invention.
F 7 Phannaceutical formulations For clinical use, the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 antagonists are in accordance with the present invention suitably formulated into pharmaceutical formulations for oral administration. Also rectal, parenteral or any other route of administration may be contemplated to the skilled man in the art of formulations. Thus, the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 antagonists are formulated with at least one pharmaceutically and pharmacologically acceptable carrier or adjuvant. The carrier may be in the form of a solid, semi-solid or liquid diluent.
In the preparation of oral phannaceutical formulations in accordance with the invention, the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 antagonist(s) to be formulated is mixed with solid, powdered ingredients such as lactose, saccharose, sorbitol, mannitol, starch, amylopectin, cellulose derivatives, gelatin, or another suitable ingredient, as well as with disintegrating agents and lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, sodium stearyl fumarate and polyethylene glycol waxes. The mixture is then processed into granules or compressed into tablets.
Soft gelatine capsules may be prepared with capsules containing a mixture of the active compound or compounds of the invention, vegetable oil, fat, or other suitable vehicle for soft gelatine capsules. Hard gelatine capsules may contain the active compound in combination with solid powdered ingredients such as lactose, saccharose, sorbitol, mannitol, potato starch, corn starch, amylopectin, cellulose derivatives or gelatine.
Dosage units for rectal administration may be prepared (i) in the form of suppositories which contain the active substance(s) mixed with a neutral fat base; (ii) in the form of a gelatine rectal capsule which contains the active substance in a mixture with a vegetable oil, paraffin oil, or other suitable vehicle for gelatine rectal capsules; (iii) in the form of a ready-made micro enema; or (iv) in the form of a dry micro enema formulation to be reconstituted in a suitable solvent just prior to administration. 8 Liquid preparations for oral administration may be prepared in the form of syrups or suspensions, e.g. solutions or suspensions, containing the active compound and the remainder of the formulation consisting of sugar or sugar alcohols, and a mixture of ethanol, water, glycerol, propylene glycol and polyethylene glycol. If desired, such liquid preparations may contain colouring agents, flavouring agents, saccharine and carboxymethyl cellulose or other thickening agent. Liquid preparations for oral administration may also be prepared in the form of a dry powder to be reconstituted with a suitable solvent prior to use.
Solutions for parenteral administration may be prepared as a solution of a compound of the invention in a pharmaceutical^ acceptable solvent. These solutions may also contain stabilizing ingredients and/or buffering ingredients and are dispensed into unit doses in the form of ampoules or vials. Solutions for parenteral administration may also be prepared as a dry preparation to be reconstituted with a suitable solvent extemporaneously before use.
In one aspect of the present invention, the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 antagonists may be administered once or twice daily, depending on the severity of the patient's condition.
A typical daily dose of the metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 antagonists is from 0.1 -100 mg per kg body weight of the subject to be treated, but this will depend on various factors such as the route of administration, the age and weight of the patient as well as of severity of the patient's condition.
PCT/U S2003/016223 9 Biological evaluation Screening for compounds active against TLESR Adult Labrador retrievers of both genders, trained to stand in a Pavlov sling, are used. Mucosa-to-skin esophagostomies are formed and the dogs are allowed to recover completely before any experiments are done.
Motility measurement In brief, after fasting for approximately 17 h with free supply of water, a multilumen sleeve/sidehole assembly (Dentsleeve, Adelaide, South Australia) is introduced through the esophagostomy to measure gastric, lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and esophageal pressures. The assembly is perfused with water using a low-compliance manometric perfusion pump (Dentsleeve, Adelaide, South Australia). An air-perfused tube is passed in the oral direction to measure swallows, and an antimony electrode monitored pH, 3 cm above the LES. All signals are amplified and acquired on a personal computer at 10 Hz.
When a baseline measurement free from fasting gastric/LES phase EH motor activity has been obtained, placebo (0.9% NaCl) or test compound is administered intravenously (i.v., 0.5 ml/kg) in a foreleg vein. Ten min after i.v. administration, a nutrient meal (10% peptone, 5% D-glucose, 5% Intralipid, pH 3.0) is infused into the stomach through the central lumen of the assembly at 100 ml/min to a final volume of 30 ml/kg. Immediately following the meal, air is insufflated at 40 ml/min. In an alternative model (Barostat model), the infusion of the nutrient meal is followed by air infusion at a rate of 500 ml/min until a intragastric pressure of 10±1 mmHg is obtained. The pressure is then maintained at this level throughout the experiment using the infusion pump for further air infusion or for venting air from the stomach. The experimental time from start of nutrient infusion to end of air insufflation is 45 min. The procedure has been validated as a reliable means of triggering TLESRs.
TLESRs is defined as a decrease in lower esophageal sphincter pressure (with reference to intragastric pressure) at a rate of >1 mmHg/s. The relaxation should not be preceded by a pharyngeal signal <2s before its onset in which case the relaxation is classified as swallow-induced. The pressure difference between the LES and the stomach should be less than 2 mmHg, and the duration of the complete relaxation longer than 1 s.
